In 130 minutes, 6 students performed the classic masterpieces in Mr. Cao Yu's "Life Trilogy". On the evening of April 14, the first performance of the graduation drama "Wilderness" of the 20-level film and drama performance class of Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts was staged in the black box theater of the training building. It is reported that the play will be performed for a total of 6 consecutive performances, starting at 6:30 every night and lasting until April 19.
As the opening bell fell, in the middle of a long black box-shaped theater, a white light lit up, and a lonely old mansion stood beside the railway. Then the roar of the train sounded, and the hero Qiu Hu appeared unkempt in shackles. He came back for revenge, and the bully landlord King Jiao Yan caused his family to be ruined, even though King Jiao Yan was dead, he also had to make the people who lived in the Jiao family pay the price. But the newly married house-filling gold of the Jiao family is Qiu Hu's first love...... During the more than two-hour performance, the audience was sad for the ill-fated Qiu Hu, worried about the beautiful and intelligent gold, worried about the cowardly and kind Jiao Daxing, and worried about the cold and blind Jiao's mother, and occasionally laughed happily by the dumbfounded white fool. "The performance is so good, very touching and sadistic. At the end of the performance, the audience Chen Zimeng's emotions could not be calmed down for a long time.
Also moved to tears was Gu Haohao, vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of the Shanghai Dramatists Association, who sat in the audience and watched the whole performance. "I watch a lot of dramas every year, and I don't cry much, but I really couldn't hold back this one just now. I was deeply moved by everyone's investment in the play, and I was also happy that there are successors to the development of the play. Gu Hao said.
Guo Dongyu, who played the role of gold, cried from the play to outside the play, and even kept wiping his tears during the group photo. "The rehearsal process in the past few days has been very painful, and during the rehearsal yesterday, the director was still saying that my lines were not tense enough and I could do better, and I was really a little panicked. Guo Dongyu said, "But today on stage, my emotions were completely mobilized by everyone's emotions, and my state was much better than yesterday." Also, the thought that the 31 students in our class were about to go their separate ways made me a little nervous. ”
Director Tan Erkan introduced that for the students of the 20-level film and television and drama performance class, this is the last drama they performed in school, and it is also the first drama they perform as full-time actors, because many students have received the acceptance notice of the professional troupe in advance. "As graduation approaches, the students are busy, so the rehearsal time for this play is also very busy, only 13 days in total, and the rehearsal time is more than 12 hours a day. Tan Erkan said, "But the students' performance today far exceeded my expectations, which shows that their skills are excellent and they have done their best to perform." ”
It is worth mentioning that the pronunciation of the word "hate" in the play has aroused heated discussions. All actors pronounce "hate" as "chóu" instead of "qiú". "In the play, 'Tiger' implies 'Tiger' of Vengeance, and we have decided to respect Mr. Cao Yu's original design and use the pronunciation of 'chóu' uniformly. Tan Erkan said.
